I wouldn't anticipate any problems re-connecting Chain of Craters Road. After all it was a highway once, and the right of way still exists(although at a slightly higher elevation).
After Royal Gardens was inundated, they briefly re-cut the highway to the subdivision. They stopped short of the Park border, and it was soon covered again. This is always a possibility.
It only took them a few days to re grade several miles of road. There's no need to pave it immediately; Just open it to connect Kalapana-Volcano-Hilo.
